We report the discovery of new 4-hydroxyphenyl phosphonium salt derivatives active in the submicromolar range (EC50 from 0.04 to 0.28 μM, SI > 10) against the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. The pharmacokinetics and in vivo oral efficacy of compound 1 [(16-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-16-oxohexadecyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide] in a mouse model of visceral leishmaniasis were established. Compound 1 reduced the parasite load in spleen (98.9%) and liver (95.3%) of infected mice after an oral dosage of four daily doses of 1.5 mg/kg. Mode of action studies showed that compound 1 diffuses across the plasma membrane, as designed, and targets the mitochondrion of Leishmania parasites. Disruption of the energetic metabolism, with a decrease of intracellular ATP levels as well as mitochondrial depolarization together with a significant reactive oxygen species production, contributes to the leishmanicidal effect of 1. Importantly, this compound was equally effective against antimonials and miltefosine-resistant clinical isolates of Leishmania infantum, indicating its potential as antileishmanial lead.

A key missing tool in the chemist's toolbox is an effective biocatalyst for macrocyclization. Macrocycles limit the conformational flexibility of small molecules, often improving their ability to bind selectively and with high affinity to a target, making them a privileged structure in drug discovery. Macrocyclic natural product biosynthesis offers an obvious starting point for biocatalyst discovery via the native macrocycle forming biosynthetic mechanism. Herein we demonstrate that the thioesterase domains (TEs) responsible for macrocyclization of resorcylic acid lactones are promising catalysts for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of 12- to 18-member ring macrolactones and macrolactams. The TE domains responsible for zearalenone and radicicol biosynthesis successfully generate resorcylate-like 12- to 18-member macrolactones and a 14-member macrolactam. In addition these enzymes can also macrolactonize a non-resorcylate containing depsipeptide, suggesting they are versatile biocatalysts. Simple saturated omega-hydroxy acyl chains are not macrocyclized, nor are the alpha-beta unsaturated derivatives, clearly outlining the scope of the substrate tolerance. These data dramatically expand our understanding of substrate tolerance of these enzymes and are consistent with our understanding of the role of TEs in iterative polyketide biosynthesis. In addition this work shows these TEs to be the most substrate tolerant polyketide macrocyclizing enzymes known, accessing resorcylate lactone and lactams as well as cyclicdepsipeptides, which are highly biologically relevant frameworks.
Highly efficient preparation of selectively isotope cluster-labeled long chain fatty acids via two consecutive Csp3-Csp3 cross-coupling reactions

, p. 844 - 847 (2014/03/21)
An efficient synthesis involving two copper-catalyzed alkyl-alkyl coupling reactions has been designed to easily access doubly isotope-labeled fatty acids. Such NMR- and IR-active compounds were obtained in excellent overall yields and will be further used for determining the conformation of an alkyl chain of lipidic biomolecules upon interaction with proteins.
Viscosalines B1,2 and E1,2: Challenging new 3-alkyl pyridinium alkaloids from the marine sponge Haliclona viscosa
Schmidt, Gesine,Timm, Christoph,Grube, Achim,Volk, Christian A.,Koeck, Matthias
supporting information; experimental part, p. 8180 - 8189 (2012/08/13)
Four new 3-alkyl pyridinium alkaloids, the viscosalines B1 (1 a), B2 (1 b), E1 (2 a), and E2 (2 b), were isolated from the Arctic sponge Haliclona viscosa. The structure elucidation of these isomeric compounds was challenging due to ambiguous fragments that derive during "standard" mass spectrometric fragmentation experiments. The final structure elucidation relied on the use of a combination of synthesis, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Three different mass spectrometers were used to differentiate between the synthetic structural isomers: a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer and two ion-trap mass spectrometers with different ion-transfer technologies (i.e., skimmer versus funnel optics). Although at first none of the spectrometers returned spectra that permitted structure elucidation, all three mass spectrometers provided analysis that successfully differentiated between the isomers after thorough method optimization. The use of in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) with the ion trap and TOF instrument returned the most interesting results. The mode of fragmentation of the viscosalines under different experimental conditions is described herein. After successful optimization of the mass spectrometric method applied, the chromatographic method was improved to distinguish the previously inseparable isomers. Finally, both the liquid chromatography and mass spectrometric methods were applied to the natural products and the results compared to those from the synthetic compounds. Copyright

body text, p. 3961 - 3966 (2009/09/30)
The preparation of the title compounds involves the introduction of the required Me3SiC{triple bond, long}C and trichlorosilyl groups at the termini of the alkyl chain via derivatization of easily accessible and inexpensive materials/reagents. Trichloro[ω-(trimethylsilyl)alkynyl]silanes are useful for the linkage to a hydroxylated silicon surface for multilayer formation and for further chemical modification of the tail group of the monolayer.

The synthesis and physicochemical characterisation of a series of polymethylene-1,ω-bis(phosphocholines) with even-numbered chain lengths between 22 and 32 carbon atoms is described. Two new synthetic strategies for the preparation of long-chain 1,ω-diols as hydrocarbon building blocks are presented. The temperature-dependent self-assembly of the single-chain bolaamphiphiles was investigated by cryo transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

Solid-phase synthesis of quinol fatty alcohols, design of N/O-substituted quinol fatty alcohols and comparative activities on axonal growth
Hanbali, Mazen,Bagnard, Dominique,Luu, Bang
, p. 3917 - 3920 (2007/10/03)
Following the promising activity of Q2FA15 on axonal growth, two new series of N/O-substituted QFAs were synthesized, based on a SN2-type reaction. O-alkylated QFA bearing 14 carbon atoms on the side chain (n = 14) shows a very potent activity on axonal growth though lowered when compared to Q2FA15. While O-alkylation allows good retention of the biological activity, N-alkylation abolishes it nonetheless. A solid-phase-supported synthesis of Q2FA15 allowing the conception of new hybrid compounds is also described.

, p. 2637 - 2640 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of three series of quinol fatty alcohols (QFAs) and their biological activities on the promotion of axonal growth are described. Interestingly, the 15-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)pentadecan-1-ol, the QFA bearing 15 carbon atoms on the side chain (n = 15), shows the most potent promotion of axonal growth in the presence of both permissive and non-permissive naturally occurring substrates such as Sema3A and myelin proteins.
